There’s an extension for that
It seems like it happens at least once a week.
A client asks me how to do something that we both know is not easy in CiviCRM, or maybe not even possible out-of-the-box.
I imagine that's something that a lot of people would use, if it existed.
I check the extensions directory, and there it is. Somebody already built it, and we just have to install it.
Today it was:
Is there a way to automatically soft credit one spouse for the other spouse’s contributions?
Okay, that's actually a good idea. It seems like a lot of people would use that. That should probably exist.
Yeah, it does: Automatic Soft Credit (or check this link for a better description).
Sure, it's not always that easy.
If it's really unique to this organization's policies, and it's not the kind of thing that a lot of people would need, then the chances are slimmer.
But it's always worth checking.
All the best,
A.
